I've always hated waking up, to the point my sleep schedule gets fucked if I don't make myself wake up. But it reminds me when I went to a sleep specialist, since I'm always completely exhausted in the morning, and energetic late at night, regardless of when I sleep and wake up. After running some tests to check for apnea and asking questions, his diagnosis was "you work too much, can you work less?". Lol, maybe if I cut food out of my budget.
And that was when I was working 60 hour weeks. I have a better job, and 'only' need to work 40, and guess what? Still sleep like shit.

So fucked up, work is basically hurting your health :-(
Here in France that discussion would go: "you work too much, putting you on health vacation for a week, we'll increase if you're still feeling exhausted after that week". And the state would pay you during that week.
yeah since I don't need to wake up early for online school my sleep schedule is the weirdest it's ever been. It got to the point where I was waking up so late that I looped back around into waking up early again, like I was waking up at 5 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM, and then I stayed up for a few extra hours and now I'm back to waking up at 5 AM and sleeping by 7 PM. I'm gonna be so sad when I have to get another job and I can't just do stuff like this anymore
I've definitely done that, back when I was in school, and had summers mostly free aside from some work with a chaotic schedule.
I've had a 9-5 now for a few years, with me reliably waking up around 8-9 every single day, even on weekends (thanks, caffeine addiction) and I'm still exhausted every morning without fail. So holding myself to a schedule definitely doesn't help. I think I might just be wired for 26 hour days or something.
Are you me? This sounds literally identical to my issues. I've even joked to friends and family that i'm narcoleptic but never actually had any symptoms of that other than the constant fatigue.
